Marriage of Convenience (The Raven Brothers 1)

I nodded, biting my lower lip to keep from blubbering. “Yes.” I hoped that I’d get pregnant right after we renewed our marriage vows, but one month and then two went by and there still wasn’t a baby. I worried that something was wrong, but the doctor assured me that all was well and that sometimes it just took time to make it happen. Then over the last few days I had the same fatigue and nausea I had the first time. And of course, no period. Excited and yet afraid to hope, I’d run out, with James hot on my heels, to get a test. I swore him to secrecy as we returned home and I took the test.

“Oh Jesus, Sara.” He set the box down and pulled me into his lap.

“Are you happy?”

“Ecstatic, baby. How do you feel?” His hand went to my belly.

“Tired and sometimes nauseous, but happy. I have a doctor’s appointment later today, but I couldn’t wait, Chase. I had to come tell you as soon as I took the test.”

“I’m glad you did. I’ll come with you to the doctor’s office.”

“I don’t want to interrupt your day any more than I have.”

“Don’t you know?” he said pressing his palm to my cheek. “You’re more important than the company. You and the baby are the most important things to me.”

“I love you.”

“Ah, I love you too.” He kissed me again, at first slow, but then he slowly increased the burn and lay me back underneath him on the couch. “Now can I unwrap you?”

“Yes.” I hoped no one would come in as he unbuttoned my blouse and undid the front clasp of my bra. He leaned over, sucking one nipple and then the other. They were a little tender, so I winced.

“Did I hurt you?”

“They’re just a little tender.”

He gently cupped one breast and then laved the nipple with his tongue. “I’ll miss these when the baby gets to have them.” He looked up into my eyes. “But it will be worth it.”

We slowly undressed and I was able to change our position so that he was sitting on the couch and I was straddled his lap. I particularly liked this position because I loved to watch Chase as I took control of his pleasure. I stroked his dick, watching as his eyes flashed with wildfire.

I guided him to my entrance and slowly lowered down. Our sighs of pleasure filled his office.

“What will you do if someone walks in?” I asked, nipping on his lips.

“Tell them to leave,” he groaned, as his hands gripped my hips.

“You won’t be embarrassed?” I rocked my pelvis, making him groan again.

“Everyone knows I have sex with my wife.” He snaked out his tongue and licked my nipple, and it was my turn to groan. “They’ll be jealous of me though, so it might be better if no one walks in.”

“Jealous that you have sex?” I rose up and then slid back down, eliciting groans from both of us.

“Jealous that I have sex with you.” He brought his hands to my cheeks and pulled me down for a kiss. “Make me come, Sara.”

And with that, no further words were said, except for a few “fuck yeah” and one “I’m gonna come,” from Chase. I rode him, faster and faster, chasing my own pleasure, heightened by watching him as he reached for his.

“Yes, baby, right there.” His thumb stroked over my clit, and that was it. I was soaring with bliss, my entire body going taut as pleasure flooded me. Chase bucked up, and I felt his essence fill me.

“I love you, Chase,” I said, kissing him hard, wanting him to know for sure how much he meant to me.

“I love you, baby. Fuck do I love you.”

I’d just buttoned the final button on my shirt, when Chase’s father knocked and opened the door. Chase zipped up his pants, and his father’s brow rose.

“Am I interrupting?”

“Not anymore,” Chase said.

My cheeks heated. “I can leave you two to meet.”

“No,” Chase said, taking my hand. “Let’s tell him. Let’s tell them all.”

I grinned. “Okay.”

“Tell me what?” My father-in-law frowned.

Chase called Alex on the phone and asked her to get his brother’s there. Fortunately, none of them had left the building, and within a few minutes all the Raven men were in Chase’s office. It was always way too much testosterone for me, but I stood by Chase with his arm around me.

“You summoned?” Kade said, looking annoyed.

“I did. I have something you all need to know.”

“You know you’re not king yet?” Kade said.

“You know you’re still a spoiled brat, right?” Hunter said to him.

“Boys, let your brother speak,” Cam said.

Chase grinned at me. “Why don’t you tell them.”

I swallowed as joy bubbled up and threatened to make me blubber again.

“Tell us what?” Kade said with an annoyed tone.
